I bought the K2 aspect because I was stoked about a backcountry boot that was crampon compatible. Unfortunately the boot has been nothing but a huge disappointment.

The first few days in the boots were absolutely brutal on my feet. The sole is uncomfortable to the point that tightening my bindings to any reasonable degree caused bruising on the sole of my foot.

After 10 days in the backcountry the boots are showing an alarming amount of wear. The leather upper is wearing out extremely fast where my binding straps come in contact with it. The rubber toe box is also so soft that it gets pressed into the metal chassis of my bindings, which is cutting a hole in the boot itself. I have karakoram bindings and this did not happen to my old Salomon boots or the 32 boots that my buddy rides.

Upon contacting K2 about the quality problems, I received the following response: "When you purchased the product, you entered into a purchase agreement with the dealer and not with K2 as manufacturer and supplier." I submitted a claim through the shop I bought the boots at and K2 rejected this outright.

It is disappointing to see that such a large company cannot take responsibility for the quality of a $300+ product. This is without question the last purchase I will be making with K2.
